Overall, sustainable farming practices (which also incorporate fair and safe working conditions) do not pose a public health threat like industrial food and farming operations do. Sustainable crop farming uses principles and techniques that do not rely on monocropping or the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Earthmade is proud to incorporate such practices by utilizing good bacteria to fight bad bacteria. That sounds…100% good to us!

Here are some things YOU can do to keep yourself and your family healthy when it comes to purchasing food:

• To protect the efficacy of our antibiotic supply, purchase meat only from animals that have not been routinely fed antibiotics.
• Support organizations that are concerned with working conditions and occupational safety for farm workers, such as Farmworker Justice.
• Seek out pastured meat and poultry which studies have found to be less likely to have food safety problems.
• Seek out Earthmade produce!

At Earthmade, we are always a champion of being the healthiest you you can be! That includes knowing where your food comes from in order to make the best choices for your health. Did you know that there might be more to regenerative agriculture than its ability to enhance farm ecosystems, capture carbon or boost soil biodiversity? Recent research has pointed to perks going beyond the farm and all the way to your fork—suggesting food grown on regeneratively managed farms is more nutritious than conventionally produced alternatives.
